How to Calculate an Octet (Decimal → Binary)

Rule: Move from left to right. Ask: "Does this value fit into the remainder?"

  • Fits → write 1, subtract
  • Doesn't fit → write 0, move on

Example: 192

128 ≥ 192? ✅ → 1 → remainder = 64
 64 ≥  64? ✅ → 1 → remainder = 0
 32 ≥   0? ❌ → 0
 16 ≥   0? ❌ → 0
  8 ≥   0? ❌ → 0
  4 ≥   0? ❌ → 0
  2 ≥   0? ❌ → 0
  1 ≥   0? ❌ → 0

Result: 1100 0000
